Family Balance Sheet

NOVEMBER 30, 2014

I really wanted to reduce our grocery spending for my family of 4 from the average of $634 a month in 2013 to a budget of $450 a month in 2014. It was a bold goal to reduce our spending by so much and I knew I would have to be very diligent with my meal planning. There is nothing worse than a family revolting in the kitchen.

We used the snowball method to pay off our non-mortgage debts. We will control our money, rather than our money controlling us. By planning our expenses each month to predict cash flow, I hope to avoid impulsive purchases and reduce some spending. After our mortgage, grocery spending is our next largest expense.

The Goal of the Grocery Budget Challenge is to be creative with our meal planning and grocery shopping so that we do not over-spend. Lately when I see my bill at the check out, I’m shocked at how few groceries are actually going home with me.

Groceries is one budget category that can get out of control very quickly. However, groceries is also an easy budget category to control, but it takes some planning, skill, and organization.
